The store is finally up and running! And out of the negatives too! However, that didn't mean that it wasn't still stressful.
"And you are sure your mom and dad are okay with this?" I asked.
"Yeah! Well, they don't know about it yet but I want to give it to them for a present!" The little girl said.
"Where did you get the money?" I asked.
"I saved the money I made from babysitting! It took me a month but I finally have enough." She beamed.
"Well good job! And for your hard work I will give you a special discount just for you! So you can have some spending money for yourself." I smiled.
"WOW! Thank you!"
Meanwhile I have both my employees a raise! They were both ecstatic!
My days were spent doing the same thing. I would wake up and go to the shop, I would restock anything that needed it, change some prices. Then the store would open, I'd greet the customers and make sure my employees were doing their jobs. Then after the store closes I would take note of what we sold and what we haven't sold in a while. Then I would restock the things we sell a lot of and then switch out items we haven't sold in a while for new ones. Then I'd eat and go to bed and do the entire process again and again and again.
I love my job though, each day is something new. I try to keep my customers happy but I have had a few leave angry. It gets a little hectic when I send Walter and Dayna home and run the shop by myself.
"Hello!"
I looked over at the customer that just walked in.
"Can I help you with anything?" I asked.
"No. Just looking around, just moved here." He said.
"Really?" I asked.
I looked at him, he was cute.
"Yeah, I don't have any place to live though. So do you mind if I just walk around for a bit?"
"Not at all."
"I'm sorry to say this, but it's closing time."
A few hours had passed.
"Okay." He said.
"Where will you sleep?"
"I'll find a place. Maybe a park bench or something."
I bit my lip.
"Well, goodnight." He said.
He turned around and walked to the door.
"Wait!"
He stopped and turned to look at me.
"I have a house, and I don't really go there much anymore because the store keeps me busy."
He looked at me confused.
"Here is my key, I can make a copy later."
"What are you saying?"
"I would sleep easier at night knowing you had a place to sleep and eat. So my home is your home too." I said.
"Miss, I can't possibly do that. We only just met."
"Please, think of it as being my room mate!"
He sighed and rubbed the back of his neck.
"If you insist miss."
"Please, it's Calliope."
"Calliope eh?" He asked.
I blushed.
"Well, thanks Calliope."
It only occurred to me after he left that I didn't get his name.
Uh oh, what was Calliope thinking? Maybe she is sleep deprived...
What do you think? Was that a smart move or a bad move? Let me know! =]
